EMPRESS THEATRE.
"School Days"—the very title is attractive, especially to the young—gives that clever boy actor, Wesley .Barry, a unique opportunity of recalling the pranks and love of out-door life which are associated with happy boyhood. "School Days," now being screened at the Empress Theatre, is the story of a,country school, where one boy has a monopoly of mischievousness. "Speck" Brown is an orphan who is rather badly treated by a strict guardian. The boy is sent to school, and spends most of his time nullifying the efforts of the teacher, a middle-aged lady, to maintain discipline, by getting up a series of pranks of a most amusing nature. The boy is discovered by a rich uncle, and sent to New York to receive an education befitting one who is likely to be the heir to a fortune. He discovers that there are some things money cannot buy, becomes disgusted with his wealthy friehds, and returns' to the country. A. gazette, a comedy, and another episode of the "Blue Fox" serial are included in the programme. The orchestra, under Mr. H G. Avery, contributes a fine selection of music. ■ '
